Modeling Breastfeeding and Weaning Practices (BWP) on the coast of northern Chile's Atacama Desert during the formative period
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Stable isotope analysis of bone collagen is frequently employed as a means of studying the breastfeeding and weaning practices (BWP) of archaeological populations. Such studies are strengthened greatly through the application ...
Relational bodies: Affordances, substances and embodiment in Chinchorro funerary practices c. 7000-3250 BP
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-12)
Funerary art has the body as its main material component, expresses responses to death and offers insight into relationships between the living and the dead. Chinchorro hunter-gatherer-fisher societies along the Atacama ...
Inter-daily variability of a strong thermally-driven wind system over the Atacama Desert of South America: synoptic forcing and short-term predictability using the GFS global model
(Springer-Verlag, 2015)
Crucial aspects of a strong thermally-driven wind system in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile during the extended austral winter season (May-September) are studied using 2 years of measurement data from the Sierra Gorda ...
Seasonality of erosion and eolian particle transport in the coastal Atacama Desert, Chile (23°S) Estacionalidad de la erosión y el transporte eólico de partículas en el desierto costero de Atacama, Chile (23°S)
(2009)
The coast of the Atacama Desert is characterized by the occurrence of strong south- and southwesterly winds. The arid climate, flat geomorphology and the characteristics of the superficial sediments on Pampa Mejillones, ...
Population genomics of Tillandsia landbeckii reveals unbalanced genetic diversity and founder effects in the Atacama Deserts in the Atacama Desert
(Elsevier, 2020)
In hyper-arid habitats vegetation tends to be highly patchy with individual plant populations set widely apart from each other. In the Atacama Desert of northern Chile, rainfall is essentially absent, but fog occurring ...
Plant life at the dry limit—Spatial patterns of floristic diversity and composition around the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert
(Public Library Science, 2020)
Extreme arid conditions in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile have created a unique vegetation almost entirely restricted to the desert margins along the coast of the Pacific Ocean and the Andean range. In this study we ...
From the use of space to territorialisation during the early holocene in taltal, coastal atacama desert, chile
(2018)
In this paper, we present recent data on Early Holocene human occupations from Taltal, in the coast of the Atacama Desert. We focus on evidences of mobility and subsistence economy, discussing the data in terms of a concept ...
Inter-annual variability of southerly winds in a coastal area of the Atacama Desert: implications for the export of aeolian sediments to the adjacent marine environment
(2012)
The analysis of the aeolian content of marine cores collected off the coast of the Atacama Desert (Mejillones Bay, Chile) suggests that marine sediments can record inter‐annual to inter‐decadal variations in the regional ...
